Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop |
46 |
its privileges when run as root. |

<impact type="high"> |
50 |
<p> |
51 |
A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file, |
52 |
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root" |
53 |
group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop |
54 |
is run as root with the -d option. |

<workaround> |

There is no known workaround at this time. |

</workaround> |
62 |
<resolution> |
63 |
<p> |
64 |
All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |

<code> |
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2"</code> |
